Well, less crap...

[A.J. Holst]

 From Show and Tell to actual sight in and function test my tactified M1 carbine. 

I have a rather pricey single shot weapon as the Numrich over- receiver scope mount perfectly prevents proper ejection. 

Nothing more money shouldn't fix with a scout style railed forward handguard from Fulton Armory...and a new rear sight.

I am really hoping the Millet SP1 red dot purchased for the Numrich mount is still functional mounted that far forward.

Well darn GTG!

Sorry to hear this. But I think you'll like the Scout Carbine concept.

You are welcome to try my Primary Arms Red Dot sight...love that little sucker!

I can recommend the Ultimak Forward Optic Mount as I have one on my tacticool M1 Carbine. Easy to install and stays solid. I've had this one for years and been very happy with it.

I call this my Zombie Gun.

Nice setup Grayfox.

I was unaware Ultimak made such. I have one of the Ultimak gas tubes on an AK and it is rock solid!

Thanks for positive report since I  bought one, $90 to my door from primary arms.

Impressed with the quality of manufacture. Now I  understand why rails and mounts can get pricey...comparing a nice piece vs. the budget stuff I usually buy. Got to Dremel some material from the stock for the front clamp and I should be good to go.

DID YOU LOCK TITE?

 Saw an article in my googling refering to the M1C as the original PDW.  Best I can tell it'll do all I need it to out a 100-ish yards. 

Like your set up, I went with folding stock for covert in plain sight transport. 

For you gals and guys who  just like to shoot your M1C, switching your original wood for synthetic is a pretty affordable option.

(Since it's your zombie gun and has a Type 2 barrel band with lug, Fulton Armory has bayonets which won't break the bank)

For being a clone of a Aimpoint T1 how does it compare?

I'm really impressed with it shotgunshooter.

It doesn't have the extreme red dot clarity of the T-1, but it's darn close. It boosts the long battery life as does Aimpoint, and I have had it running constantly on a low setting, 3 iirc, for over a year now. I ran it through one of Randy's carbine classes last year on an AK with no issues and it's been exposed to heat, cold and rain and still functions fine.

I doubt it would hold up to the rigors of a tour overseas, but it serves my perceived needs well enough I plan to purchase another when finances allow.

I am setting up a 10/22 for the missus as linked below. Here's a link for anyone interested in the concept...and it is a niche concept and I accept it's limitations.

Ultimak rail installed, solved the ejection problem.

Revealed a second issue, bolt not stripping fresh round from magazine.

Bolt also not moving far enough to the rear to catch the LRHO notch on the mag follower.

I did replace the guide (recoil) spring, it was longer than what I removed.

Will replace spring, function test and report back.

Did get it sighted in, now I really want to bang away to see if the Millet SP1 red dot holds zero and holds up.

Only way to use irons will be to remove the sight.

What kind of mag are you using? Those 30 rounders as pictured are notoriously unreliable and cause all kind of problems, especially if not USGI.

[Grayfox54]

Nope, did not locktite the rail and have never had a problem with it.

I considered a folding stock, but just didn't like the feel of it. 

As Garufa said, stick to USGI mags. I've never had any problems with them.

Ran 6 mags, 3 usgi (1-15, 2-30) and 3 Taiwanese  (1-15, 2-30)

Don't think it's the mags (yet)
